* * * ABOUT YOUR RETREAT LEADER * * *

Jen is an ACCREDITED Wisdom and Wellbeing Practitioner as well as an Early-Learning Facilitator, teaching both adults and children all about creating a more meaningful relationship with earth, oceans, nature and self, in fun and engaging ways.

She is also a multiple best-selling AUTHOR (and Professional Presenter), with her most recent book written during Melbourne lockdowns titled "Sacred Whale Connections - Ancient Wisdom For Modern Times". She presents this fascinating and spiritually enriching research during Retreats she holds all around Australia, during the Whale Migration Season.

Combining her own spirit and soul evolution from life experiences, Jen draws on her clumsy and funny journey as a Visual ARTIST to also include Intuitive Art Parties during these Retreats - that helps you unlock more of your own true potential. It's a NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY process, and it's social and fun and will surprise, honour, reflect and respect more of your true self.

It is her aim to also incorporate ACTIVE PHILANTHROPY when possible in to the Retreat Schedule, giving back whilst gaining so much, and leaving a positive impact as well as a minimal footprint wherever we go. This was Jen's dedicated work, with indigenous communities all around the world, up until the Pandemic shut down in 2020. Now she's focussing on Australia and helping to strengthen the connection between our original people and the colonised.

Jen is currently teaching and sharing Ancient Wisdom / Earth Kinship programs in Early Learning Centres for 3yo+ and available to teach in primary and secondary schools. She runs regular Workshops and Retreats for adults and is also available to conduct customised Seniors Sessions at Clubs, Villages and Hostels for up to 103yos.

THIS RETREAT AND FESTIVAL ARE HELD ON MINJERRIBAH (NTH STRADBROKE ISLAND), QUANDAMOOKA COUNTRY

PLEASE OBSERVE & FOLLOW THESE PROTOCOLS:

Quandamooka is the ancestral homeland of the Nunukul, Ngughi and Goenpul peoples, the sub-groups that make up the Quandamooka People. The Quandamooka People are the traditional owners of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) and Mulgumpin (Moreton Island), who have owned and occupied the lands and waters of Moreton Bay since time immemorial. In fact, the Quandamooka People have over 20,000 years’ association with their Country, including Minjerribah.

Quandamooka territory, known as ‘Country’, comprises the waters and lands of and around Moorgumpin (Moreton Island), Minjerribah, the Southern Moreton Bay islands and South Stradbroke Island. It includes the mainland from the mouth of the Brisbane River, Wynnum, Chandler, Lytton, Belmont, Tingalpa, south to Cleveland, to the Logan River. Quandamooka Country crosses the boundaries of four Queensland local governments.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
